The Fast

For those who know me, you know that I do The Daniel Fast every January.

It all started while I was in high school, my uncle was going through some rough times and my mom had heard about The Daniel Fast- where you start your new year fasting and pray for something, the lack of food gives you the time to pray and to reflect on your life. Every year I really do realize just how much I think about food, and how much I take it for granted- and to think of all the millions who don't even have a meal every night. 2 Days in and I can already tell a difference, my thinking is more clear and I feel more appreciative of my life!

You can see the specifications of the fast HERE. During the month I eat a lot of Fruits and Veggies, I always end the month feeling great mentally and physically. So I welcome the Fast each year. Personally I find it to be a great way to start each year.

My personal Menu for the week is below (I add Chicken or Steak to one portion to make it more Zach Friendly)

Tonight: Vegetable Soup

Monday: Salad with a side of broccoli

Tuesday: Tofu Stirfry

Wednesday: Potatoes and Veggies in the Crock Pot

Thursday: Pasta (Spinach Pasta with tomato sauce)

Friday: Brown Rice and Beans

Saturday: Butternut Squash

Sunday is Zach's Birthday! I have a special meal planned for that one!

Happy New Year- I hope you are planning something amazing for this new year!

Loves.

We went to Il Gabbiano's a well known Italian establishment in Miami very close to our apartment. We absolutely loved it, the pasta, the bruchetta, the cheese, the wine! Everything was so delicious. Its a little pricey, but worth every penny. So save up so the next ti...

Clear Headed

I am back to blogging. I took a five year hiatus and honestly I have missed the outlet. I enjoy this release, and the ability to share with people (even if it's only 2 of you - hi mom!) I turned 30 this year and I am really focused on becoming and showing my authentic self. I love birthdays because I feel like its always a good time of renewal and to reset goals and visions. I am all about making myself better, and really discovering what is going to make me happy, and thats all about what habits and ideas are going to be sustainable. And this is a great platform to write about all those interesting things, that I am sure other people can relate to. So in this journey for authenticity I really want to strive for a simplistic materialistic approach in my life (this is a pretty new idea for me), but I think it will allow more space for the things that really matter. In an effort to move in that direction I received a little inspiration (which as we know always presents itself in ...

Crazy. Beautiful Life

Image
Well the past few weeks have been crazy! I am really getting into my new role and I must say I feel as if it suites me. Now I am still  "rookie" in every sense of the word, but to be honest I am learning from a great master. There is no better person to help me transition into this role and be the best that I can possibly be. And hey I am still me, I still Love, Love :) and that is what it is all about. When you have the honor of being a part of someone's most special day, a day that they will remember forever it really makes you realize how beautiful love is. We have a busy month ahead and I will try to update you on some of the weddings we do whenever possible because please do not doubt that they will be every bit of the word fabulous. In other news it seems that 2011 is the year of the weddings, Z and I have a lot of dear friends and family getting married this year. We are excited for this fun filled summer and fall and hope to make a lot of great memories along th...
